Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my new Velocore bike. Just what I needed to begin my weight loss journey.

Excellent bike! I use it 30 minutes every day! Is amazing

This bike is so amazing. The shipping was fast. The item arrived damage free. I’m glad I decided to choose this bike and I look forward to 2022 and the magic it will bring.

Good concept and a bad design. There is an annoying noise in the flywheel and the manufacturer sent a plastic adapter that worked for a little bit. In a recent class the adapter broke and the Bowflex customer service representative said that I it was past the warranty period.

A really awesome bike love the option to go side to side

Love the side to side motion, makes you feel like you’re riding a real road bike!

So far so good, but has paint mess on one weight and the right side of handle bar. Feels like a real bike.

I love this bike. It helped me get back to the old me. I use it every other day.

This bike is horrible! Tablet is constantly out of service and the lock button sticks making it a hard transition when working out. Lastly the the workouts with Journey are boring.

I love this exercise bike . It comes with a virtual coach, and I rode the Rhine river in Germany with my coach instructing me. This bow flex exercise bike is the best.

Long gone are the days of flimsy exercise bikes. The Bowflex Velocore 22” is an excellent addition to you home gym circuit! This bike is sturdy and beautiful. Assembly was quick and setup for account access was a breeze.

I love it and I needed it in my life. I find it wouldI don't have to go to the gym now

Missing pre-installed hardware. Unusable. Not safe. Scratched. Has marks from washers. Looks to be a return unit.

In less than 24 hours its now broken. It was good at first and everything work and now it wont let me work out i guess i have to call the support number and probably spend hours doing so. I search the problem on reddit and apparently people been having the same issues a year ago and apparently bowflex never decided to fix it for new products.

The bike itself is excellent quality and was easy to assemble. The tablet picture is nice as well. However, the software leaves much to be desired. Sometimes it doesn't wake up when you pedal, tap it, or hit a button on the back. In two weeks, I've had to unplug it twice to get it to reset. There is no way to turn it completely off unless you unplug it. It's lost the connection to the bike during two workouts and ended them halfway through. The resistance updates very slowly when you spin the knob. Also, not only do you need to pay for a jrny subscription to use Netflix, etc., you also must start a workout before you can use them. It'd be nice if you could just immediately load a streaming service and do your own thing manually. The workout bar that sits over the streaming service is nice, but when doing a leaning workout it doesn't indicate when to lean. Honestly, I'm hoping they loosen up on the streaming restrictions before my free year is up--or somebody roots it reliably so I can stream freely. Oh, and you'll probably want to buy the comfort seat from Bowflex unless you have no nerve endings in your rump. Both my wife and I were hurting for like a day after sitting on it for 15 minutes. Great bike @ $800, but I wouldn't pay a nickel more.

I would have never allowed myself to pay for this bike (or the other brand) at full price but when it was marked down almost half off I couldn’t help myself. I also couldn’t be happier about the decision. When everyone is talking about Peloton, im saying BOWFLEX baby. This got me back in my workout groove and the workout options are amazing. I really love the inclusion of core workouts with the swivel feature. I will say the set up is a workout x3 in itself but as a strong independent woman I got it done in about 3 hours. It’s not confusing, it’s just so many heavy parts to coordinate while wrenching on things.

As a bike: The bike itself, the mechanics, the ride feel, the stability, is great. The leaning I thought would be gimmicky, and while it certainly doesn't emulate the lean of a real bike, I find it to be quite an effective exercise implement. An extra shout out on stability, I am 280 lbs and I stand, lean, sway, pedaling hellafast all the while, and the bike takes it all in stride, no wobbling or unexpected parts movement. Support: My bike does have a bit of a clicking noise and I've gone through the troubleshooting material to no avail, so I called support and without any fuss, they are sending me a supplemental part to hopefully address it. Based on the ease of that interaction as well as youtube reviews of people speaking to the quality of nautilus customer service, I'm sure my minor issue will be resolved some way without hassle or cost to me. JRNY Content: I am so far enjoying the JRNY content, early in the 1 year free trial of that service. I've only gone through trainer videos so far, no explore the world. Display and software: The features of the display and software are a bit frustrating, and misleading. My experience so far has been: a) cannot pair a bluetooth "speaker", only proper headphones. I would guess a bluetooth device identifies itself as a type of device and the bowflex only allows pairing headphones. Because the in-built speakers are of such low quality, my quick fix was going to be to use a JBL flip 5 but no luck. Anyway I now use headphones and have moved on. Then I had another idea - just run the JRNY app on my ipad and be free of these connectivity and sound quality issues, but that is a no go as well. The bikes sensors won't communicate to the JRNY app running on another device. b) Zwift & Peloton: it really should be in bold print in the marketing material and overview for this product that "integrates with zwift" does NOT mean that you will be watching zwift on the screen of the blowflex. It means only that the bike's sensor data are transmitted to zwift running on your own device, for example ipad. c) the included heart rate monitor is hit and miss as to whether it shows up at all to be connected, and if it does whether it actually records anything. I'm sure it won't be too long before I either exhaust or get bored of the JRNY content and move more regularly to Zwift or Peloton, at which point I'll be using a different device and won't be subject to the connectivity, sound quality, etc. issues, so these details aren't a major concern for me. Bottom line: If I had paid anything close to full price, some of these shortcomings would probably weigh a little heavier on me, but at half price this bike is a great value to me and doesn't have much competition for the hardware features and mechanical quality.

This is a great bike if it's on sale. Add forty bucks to it and buy the cushion seat from Bowflex before you put the bike together. No matter your butt size, it's awful! JRNY seems like something from 2010. I hope they update things soon. Buy the five year warranty. Bowflex just went bankrupt, and it's only one year. My last bike didn't even make it to three. I'm very happy with it being half off. It's worth it, without question.

This is a great exercise bike. I recommend upgrading to the more cushy seat. The screen is clear, and the options for exercise keep it interesting. You can also watch Netflix or Hulu while you pedal. I like that I can stand and pedal for a greater workout range. I opted to have Best Buy put it together. They hire a 3rd party, and they did a fantastic job! No extra parts, and they took the box and filler with them. Definitely worth the extra cost. I got the smaller screen because the larger was not available, but I am very satisfied with the smaller screen, and am glad this is the one I purchased. No regrets!

When I say run don’t walk to buy this item… This bike would really give you a workout and I love the fact that you can unlock it to give you a realistic bike ride. Would definitely recommend.
